ABSTRACT:
This report summarizes accomplishments of the ESCAPE (Eastern Stream Child Abuse Prevention and Education) Project over its final two years
and identifies products developed under its auspices during this period.
An introduction describes the project which was initiated in 1982 to
establish and reduce the incidence of child maltreatment in the migrant
population and operated through state and local education agencies in
cooperation with health, legal services and law enforcement, job training
and safety, child protection, human services, farmworker, family, and
minority advocacy agencies. Project activities in research, training,
technical assistance, preparing resource materials for educator and health
personnel, and coordination of public and private efforts are summarized
in separate sections. The bulk of the report consists of a series of eight
attachments. They include texts of studies of incidence and patterns of
migrant child maltreatment in Florida, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Texas,
as well as selected segments of state migrant child abuse prevention plans
for California, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey, and Washington.
Also included are materials developed for the National Migrant Child Abuse
Prevention Institute and introductory pages of "What's a Kid to Do about
Child Abuse?" and "What's a Teacher to Do? Child Abuse Education for the
Classroom." (NEC)
